Swapping gas for induction needs a dedicated high-current circuit back to the switchboard, benchtop modification for the new cutout, and the gas point capped off by a licensed plumber.

We assess the cooktop requirements, switchboard capacity, circuit route, bench cutout and cabinetry clearances before setting the scope. The quote covers the dedicated circuit, connection, testing, certification and coordination required for the changeover. For board requirements, appliance selection, installation and gas-to-induction planning, see the full detail on induction cooktop installation.
At around 2029 people per square kilometre, Croydon kitchens have the cabinetry depth that induction needs for ventilation underneath. Sitting at about 124 metres, Croydon has homes where roof access above the kitchen is usually good.
Being around 30 kilometres from the city, Croydon has modern boards where adding the circuit is routine. In Maroondah, which includes Croydon, there is no application to lodge for a cooktop changeover.
Croydon shares a boundary with Croydon Hills and Croydon North, so a booking here often slots into a run we are already doing. For scale, the 2021 census counted 28608 people in Croydon, across about 14.1 square kilometres of Maroondah, postcode 3136.
Some background on the place: On 1 August 1884 it was renamed Croydon railway station. Build era predicts the board, and the board is what decides whether this is a simple job or a two-stage one. The suburbs we work alongside Croydon are Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South and Kilsyth, and all of them are quoted on the same basis.
We work out of Boronia, about 7.9 kilometres north from Croydon. No travel charge, no minimum call-out to justify the drive. With Croydon railway station in Croydon, the streets nearest the line generally carry the oldest stock in the suburb.
One more piece of local background: == History == Dating back to 1840 the land was first utilised by settlers for grazing and the first road cut through the area now known as Croydon, was initially known as Sawmill Road, as a sawmill was nearby. Something else that shows up in the housing here: The Post Office opened on 1 December 1883 after the railway line was established.

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

No. The run from Boronia to Croydon is about 7.9 kilometres north, which is well inside our regular patch, so there is nothing added for travel.
We cover Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South and Kilsyth alongside Croydon, and a job in any of them is quoted on the same basis.
Croydon is in Maroondah (3136). Council approval is not part of a standard job, and we will tell you plainly if your property is the exception.
Rarely. Most cooktops need their own dedicated circuit rated for their full draw. Sharing an oven circuit is a common shortcut that causes nuisance tripping and isn't compliant.
Tell us which cooktop you are considering and what is installed now. We’ll assess the board, circuit route and cabinetry requirements, then provide a clear electrical quote. Book an assessment or call our Boronia crew to discuss the changeover.
